This is really beuatiful Karen, I can identify with it....I know I am a passionate person. I like to express myself by using "other" wise people's quotes sometimes, but only if they express my beliefs.
“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.” Bertrand Russell
“Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.” James Matthew
“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.” Proverb quotes
What I am realizing about passion is that I do grow my grappling with and subduing them, and even though I realize I am a more emotional person than one who uses good reason, I have concluded that it is true that "Fools rush in" but still the passion is not always easy to subdue or something I want to completely subdue....but I do seek balance by learning to use more reason.
When I felt that way here.....once or twice, I toned it down and paid them more attention in emails and in the "Say something to the person you like thread." You can be creative with your expressions of interest. I think love can make one very creative. I am not pushing love on you....I know you said interested....just expressing my idea of love....that it is very creative and can express itself in many ways.
So I think...reassure the person you are interested in, but above all....be true to you!
It's really not easy meeting the one you feel for and those feelings are recipricated but it will happen, I say it is not easy but is shouldn't have to be hard either....I guess patience is the key.
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”
“Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.”
pfffft! The men's profiles say the same thing. I say "If you like what you read, I hope you will take the chance." And that is the way I feel about it....unless you take the chance, you never know. So if I see someone that I think I might like or click with I will take the chance.
Some people hate to hear the words "Can we still be friends?" But if I make a true connection with someone where we have shared a mutual admiration for each other's beings, this is the type of friendship that last.
“You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friends.'”
I believe you are a nice person and do care about others, so do I....I just think we all have these experiences and we live and learn and we have to let it go. There are always going to be people who hurt others...and I will only speak for myself, I have to take some responsibility for my own pain and I learn from it.
I will just tell you from my experience on this site Karen, I am sure it was before you were here, there was a woman who wanted to warn about a player and she made a thread like this and emails started circulating and the name of the person came up in the thread and that person was banned. The mods locked the thread and posted that it doesn't always work out between two people but this is not the right way...there are two sides to every story.
Well if the potential victim wants to know maybe she will show up in this thread and say, tell me, tell me...I supspect I may be getting played.
Someone sent me an email this morning asking me how to know if they are being played. How would I know what everyone's experiences with players are...all I know is my own and that I played a part in it by not listening to myself and ignored the blatant signs that my needs were not being met.
This warner might be a manipulative person, not giving all the facts. I think if they got played learn from it and mind your own business. They might be a player themselves.
Therein lies the delima for me, I am very passionate but am I very passionate and sensual because I am also very sensitive....my feelings get in the way
I 100% agree with personal responsibility but I don't think we have as much control over our feelings or many things in life as some believe. But the personal responsibility is something we can always improve on.
Good for you! I do it for the fun place to play thing but sometimes I post more seriously and I have actually read some interesting thoughts from others and learned from them. But mostly for socializing and friends. I made a couple connections but thankfully, they were with people who were honest about their intentions as I would be with another. Sometimes we need to learn how to read people. But we all get fooled and hurt sometimes....I still believe it is worth the risk...I just want to let it happen more naturally, cos love is natural and free. But I do think that sometimes those painful experiences can turn out in the end to be the best thing that ever happened cos they helped us to learn about ourselves, the part we played and what we don't want which brings us a little closer to finding what we do want.
Ojazos can stand up for herself. I thought she was being judged for being honest and went to battle for her but I noticed at the same time that she is able to handle herself pretty well.
I don' t think it is only men who are players....there are lots of women players too. Everyone plays the fool sometimes. I have learned from experience to listen to them very carefully in the beginning of a relationship and they will tell you what they are about. If they don't want a comittment or they are not consistent and lie...don't expect your love to change them.
She will back I am sure. She's only been a couple months and been in love several times. Changed her user name several times and always hides her profile. Maybe she needs to slow down, take some things less seriously and others more seriously.
Really, I agree with all of this except for the purpose...I think the purpose is because as humans we are all so complex and imperfect and often hurt and full of fear....and what happens is hurt people hurt people. Before people can give to others they need to learn to nurture themselves and this is done with improved Higher Conciousness. It could be laziness that people don't strive for this but who am I to judge...I am just a speck in the Universe trying to improve myself.
